Of course the question has to be asked: "Why would producers think that cattle veterinarians would support the live ex trade when they want to remove this "bread and butter" business for country veterinarians, the same bread and butter business that enables them to survive and provide livestock services to those same producers. Bizarre.....but then....who cares about those that lose out from the live ex trade (abattoirs and their workers? vets? local businesses that lose out when both go?.).
